Ricky || Rattled Racoon

Genre – Slice of Life, Romance, Modern/Urban Fantasy

Setting 2025, Place City, USA.

• A reality tear above the city that amplifies the positive and negative traits of its citizens, has caused it to become a metropolis of discontent, greed, aggression and lust, potentially leading to a range of problems within the city.
• Vampires, werewolves, aliens, succubi/incubi, faeries, demi-humans and other supernatural or extraterrestrial beings have used this tear to venture to and exist in this Earth dimension
• Place City is at a loss at what to make of the emergence of these beings, choosing to treat them as citizens due to fear and uncertainty
• In this modern society, demihumans—beings with a mix of human and animal traits such as ears, horns, and tails are heavily discriminated against. Humans outnumber demihumans greatly, resulting in demis populating low income jobs and/or sex work. There has been a recent wave of "incels" online, who view demihumans as the perfect alternative to human partners, creating a fetishization of demihumans alongside the discrimination.

Locations:

• Quick-E-Corner, Place City Location 00B2! - a convenience store; convenient corner location, spacious alleys, suspicious smell and sounds in the wall, with a sweet four flavor freezie machine and a selection of possibly stale snacks and small goods.
• The Dumpster – a shitty one bedroom, one bathroom apartment where Stella, Ophelia, and Ricky live together. The girls share the bedroom, with Ophelia’s computer desk in one corner and Stella’s vanity in the other. Ricky has a slightly busted pull out couch in the great room. Kept clean but a bit cluttered and eclectic. All thrifted and rescued furniture. Smells of febreze and toast and stale body odor

• Does not remember where exactly he was born but he suspects somewhere in Tennessee; his earliest memory is being scooped up from a feral colony and forcibly field examined and microchipped
• Was captured again not long after and, finding that several demis seemed resistant to zoonotic disease symptoms and being considered as new vectors or carriers, taken to Montauk as a specimen - getting tagged as a pest control retrieved racoon infested with rickettsia carrying ticks
• treated as a lab rat for years, being injected with active viral and bacterial agents, experimental medication, and subjected to a myriad of physical and cognitive tests
• developed some chronic health issues like muscle aches, transient nausea, and fatigue in addition to CPTSD, medical trauma, and magical thinking expansions of trauma responses - i.e. being told that he's sick because of 'bugs' leading to a vicious phobia of insects, being told that he needed to 'keep clean' leading to obsessive compulsive hand washing, being in crowded and unsafe baracks leading to him needing to hoard resources and have overprotective 'checking' tendencies
• Managed to escape during a transfer to a new facility when the truck stopped to fuel up for gas and Ricky, with a handful of other teen and young adult demi humans, commandeered the vehicle - they crashed it only a few miles later and largely scattered
• Got adopted by a group of Crusties or freight-hopping transients in an anarchopunk coalition – a diverse group ranging from teenagers to a couple in their early thirties, human, demi human, and one guy who was “just weird but harmless”. Group regularly gained and lost members. Traded actively. Panhandled. Busked. Ophelia joined later and latched onto him and later, Stella joined as well. Bounced between cities following seasons and train lines.
• Ended up as a 'protector' figure, particularly for Ophelia, due to being scrappy and looking intimidating
• self medicates for his pain, fatigue, and anxiety - favors weed but will take anything
• Took odd jobs but his 'personality defects' and lack of paperwork, in addition to his unusual size for a 'trash' animal led to some difficulties. His tendency to reflexively steal and hoard small resources like food or trinkets for Stella and Ophelia does not help.
• Ended up in Place City while looking for a denser population of Demihumans. Was the first to get a job
• Local warehouse delivery driver, paid under the counter but actually gets a decent rate because he reminds the manager Mario's mother of her dearly departed brother and does a lot of handy work for her since Mario has a bad back i.e. helping move furniture, helping garden; has three routes on a set schedule, drives a refrigerated mini truck to two Quik-E-Corner locations, Goat Lips, Spend-n-Save, and a few gas stations; makes side hustle cash by upcycling and refurbishing things with the girls that he gets off the side of the road/dumpster diving/ yard sale-ing/thrifting

• Long term: get found family into a better living situation; conquer his trauma issues

Secrets:

• Feels like it's "stupid" that his trauma still affects him because he is an adult now and doing better
• Self medicates daily, poison of choice is weed; significant preference for downers, flirts heavily with ketamine addiction and alcoholism but largely shies away from street opiates due to his issues with needles, fond of psychotropics in concept but they tend to amplify his anxiety and nausea. Uppers and stimulants tend to make him paranoid. Smokes cheap cigarettes when he needs to be sober-ish, i.e. while driving. Has a hexhaust vape that he hits like an oxygen tank. He hides from the girls how deep his addictions and compulsions still run.
• Magical thinking/ phobias/ compulsions dominate and mutilate his trains of thought. he has to perform repetitive actions to banish them, even temporarily, or his will fixate and spiral to the point of actual bodily reaction and harm. These are often based in actual traumas but attached to distorted 'magical' thinking that no longer makes real logical sense. Favors intervals of three. thinks bugs are signs of disease. if he thinks about an object more than three times, he has to have it. and, being poor, that generally means stealing it.

Kinks/Sexual Behavior: Submissive, willing to be a service top Kinks: inebriated sex; oral fixation; overstimulation; likes the idea of being held down but the reality always reminds him too much of being forcible restrained for injections Gets very flustered when genuine interest is shown back prefers to have sex while high - gets whiskey dick bad and, if attempted while sober, he tends to freak out about the bodily fluids, being touched, being afraid to hurt someone on accident, etc has a minor oral fixation and a fixation with hands and caregiving
